Some of us really don't care whether our children take AP exams. No interest in having my high school aged children try to complete college work, or get college level credit, in high school. None. Not because we're rich and can pay infinitely for college and not because they're not highly capable. I[b] want my children to leave high school as good writers, good mathematicians, analytical thinkers, inquiring scientists, respected team members in sports for which they will never be recruited but enjoy doing, community minded, and internally motivated to further their education. It would be really great if they attracted some merit money for college, but that's still a big unknown[/b].This is what I'm hoping they'll get from pursuing an IB diploma. I hope along the way, they won't have to give it up due to poor implementation of the program. I don't feel like they're missing anything by not being at an AP school. [/quote]

And, they cannot do those with AP?  And, DD had a year's worth of credit with AP.  We, too, didn't care about the savings. She chose to stay the full four years as an undergraduate and the extra credits enabled her to take lots and lots of electives.

Exactly.  You don't need an IB diploma to accomplish those goals.  In fact, it may make them harder to achieve. [/quote]
